Payment Gateway

I am in Saudi Arabia and planning to dropshipping in the US and Europe.

What is the best payment gateway with little cost?

Can I use Stipe for my web considering the region I am and where I am selling?

Since Stripe is not available in Saudi Arabia, you won’t be able to use it directly. However, you can consider PayPal, 2Checkout (now Verifone), or Checkout.com, which support businesses in Saudi Arabia and allow transactions in the US and Europe.

For the lowest costs, PayPal’s transaction fees are competitive, but some dropshippers prefer Checkout.com for better international rates. You could also explore Tap Payments, which is popular in the Middle East. Another option is using a Stripe Atlas account (which requires US business registration) if you’re set on using Stripe.

Hi @Moath-KSA

I think your best payment gateway options will depend on both your business location and your target markets.

  1. Stripe is not available for businesses registered in Saudi Arabia, so you won’t be able to use it unless you register your business in a supported country.
  2. PayPal is a great alternative with wide acceptance in the US and Europe, though fees can be higher.
  3. Tap Payments and PayTabs are two popular gateways available in Saudi Arabia that support international transactions.
  4. Checkout.com is another solid option that offers competitive rates and works well for cross-border ecommerce.

If you’re set on using Stripe, you might need to register your business in a Stripe-supported country like the US or UAE. Otherwise, I’d recommend looking into PayTabs or Checkout.com for a cost-effective and seamless solution.

Stripe is not officially supported in Saudi Arabia. However, as long as you incorporate your company in the US/Europe and follow the right procedures you should be able to register a Stripe account.

Cheap payment options that will meet your needs —
PayPal: 2. 9% + $0. 30 (US/EU), 4. 4% cross-border. It is simple and reliable with no installation charges. This is the most appropriate for you at this moment.
2Checkout: 3. 5% + $0. 35. It’s a good second choice, can be used everywhere in the world.
Payoneer: Goes well with gateways; about 2% cost on withdrawing funds. Perfect for Saudi payouts.

— Stripe?
It’s incompletely accessible within Saudi Arabia (not available)—requires American or Emirati entity. Charges: 2. 9% + $0. 30. Solution: Enroll outside (e. g., UAE).
Advice
Begin using PayPal. If your sales increase, switch to Stripe but only with offshore incorporation.

Right!

Also you can use a third party “Shopify Stripe Checkout” solution to accept payments with multi currencies and with many payment methods.
